    When I create a link with “Add link”-function in Block editor, search function won’t find any pages/posts when I start to type.
    I will only get “Attachment” hits.
    When I try this with one of my other GP-sites pages/posts will be found.
    I also tried to switch to old Editor mode and “Add link”-function works fine.

    I have disabled all plugins and even switched theme without success.
    Do I miss something? 🙈

    Hi there,

    that is peculiar, what happens if you go to Settings > Permalinks and Click Save Changes to rebuild the Permalinks, then clear any cahces. Does it find the pages/posts now ?

    Done without success.
    Any special cache?

    Its not a theme related thing, and we dont add any caching.

    What block is it on ? Just the ordinary core text block ?

    Yes, core text block.

    Same issue if I use List-block or GP Headline-block.

    How odd, i am not sure what would cause that, if you want to provide me an admin login i can take a look?

    I added TwentyTwenty and disabled all the plugins. And the link issue remains.

    But in the Dashboard Admin Menu there is a Menu called: Links – what is that and where does it come from ?
    As there is no child theme or plugins – i don’t know how that can be there.

    I have left the site with TwentyTwenty and no plugins so you can see.

    No idea.
    Nothing I have used and I have missed this 🙈
    Table “wp_links” contains these items.

    This seems to be a core function.

    In “wp-admin” you got link-manager.php and some other link-*.php files.

    yeah, i know its part of WP Core, but i haven’t seen that in the admin on any recent sites.
    Even the codex for it is really old lol

    https://codex.wordpress.org/Links_Manager

    Was this site built from an older site ?

    #2501715

    yes, older.

    As the problem remains with a WP Theme and no plugins, then i can only guess their could be an issue with the database, it could be some legacy code that is causing problems.
